No Backups Found Step
When you launch the Device Restore Wizard against a target device that
has no backup files associated with it, the wizard shows the No Backups
Found step as shown in Figure 51
. The wizard will ask you whether the
target device is a replacement for another device.
Figure 51 Device Restore Wizard - No Backups Found
If your target device is not a replacement for another device and there are
no backup files associated with your target device, the Device Restore
Wizard cannot continue. The Restore operation can only be used to apply
a saved backup to either the device from which it originated or to a
replacement for the device.
If you want to apply a ‘saved’ configuration to a device which is neither
the source of the backup nor a replacement for the source of the backup,
then you should use the Device Setup Wizard. See “
Device Setup
Wizard” on page 119 for more details.
Specify Device Being Replaced Step
When you indicate in the No Backups Found step that the target device is
a replacement for another device, the Specify Device Being Replaced step
is shown. This step is only shown if there is at least one backup from
another device with the same physical configuration as your target
device.
